We authenticate, appraise, research and issue certificates of authenticity (COA) and provide consultations for all paintings by Toshio Bando.Toshio Bando was a Japanese born painter who lived and worked in Paris. Like his contemporary Japanese painters living in Europe, Bando's work has a very unique and beautiful quality that blends two worlds of painting; traditional Japanese and Impressionistic European.Bando's real name was Tamotsu and sadly as a little boy, lost his mother who died when he was seven. This had an effect on Bando's artistic work and throughout his catalogue; one can note that he gives his work a maternal edge.Bando began studying under Fujishima Takeji in 1913, a master who had studied in France and Italy. Perhaps it was this influence that interested Bando so much in the French style of painting, particularly in the works of Cezanne.
